I was just trying to understand factual claims and written statements made by W4S and whether these claims are (or not) improved by chaining one "jitter cleanser" product to an another, as it was explain in posts above. Are we improving the left over 20% jitter with an audible difference or do both products phase out each other by using the same jitter cleansing process and algorithm.
Since W4S uses a software to show improvement with Remedy (attached info from their website), it's would be great if they could also back up their statements by chaining bLINk (or other jitter cleanser) to DSDSe and show the signal results coming out with both units chained together. Don't thing it should take them very long to do.
The reason I brought up the W4S question is because W4S states factual claims on some of their product and not others and before purchasing an add-on "jitter cleanser" to a DDse, it would be nice to know if technology is redundant and superfuxe, coming from same manufacturer which I would think uses similar technology in its sister product.
bLINK
Femto-grade reclocker drastically reduces jitter
(Specs do NOT include any data analyses backing up their claim of "jitter reduction")
REMEDY RECLOCKER
Superior jitter reduction
(Specs shows data analyses backing up their "jitter reduction" claim. Graph below)
DAC-2 DSDs
Femto Grade Clock (82 fSec phase jitter)
"...optimizes phase jitter by over 80%..."

Hello AJ,
The short answer is, the Femto in the Remedy is the same as in the bLINK. So what can be deduced from the Remedy can also cross over to the bLINK. The benefit of reclocking the signal before it gets to the DAC is that the DAC has a cleaner signal to work with from the beginning. The resulting sound benefits from that. In this way, having the two in the chain together is not redundant.
Hope this helps.
